"How Successful Was the Indoctrination of the German Youth Under the Nazi Regime?"

How Successful Was the Indoctrination of the German Youth Under the Nazi Regime? Hitler expressed the need for indoctrination in many speeches from the beginning of his leadership. This is shown in a quote from a meeting with radio officials on 25th March 1933: 'the mobilisation of the mind is as necessary as, perhaps even more necessary than, the material mobilisation of the nation.' The Law on the Hitler Youth also emphasised the indoctrination of …

…not allowed and when he made light of this prohibition, they threatened punishment'. It is proved that Hitler treated opposition seriously, especially youth resistance. It prevented him from his idea of indoctrinating the youth. This is shown by the creation of a special youth section of the Secret Police and a youth concentration camp set up in Neuwied. Resistance of the younger children was less likely to occur because their minds were more easily indoctrinated.
